Chapter 1169: Chapter 379: I’m in Cuba Now, This Is So Awesome! (Part 2)

"Stop making excuses!"

Seeing him dare to argue, Lancaster shouted directly,

"Useless! Coward! Good-for-nothing! All their troops are at the frontline, and there’s barely a soul defending the rear! Not an ounce of military honor in those good-for-nothings!

You spent so much time in the military academy and the army, but after retiring, all you remember is how to use knives and forks to eat and play with women, right?

Even my maids know better than you that a master’s order is absolute!

Moreover, besides you, there are so many paratrooper decoys on the plane. Even if your airborne operation incurs casualties, exposing the enemy’s air defense positions would be worth it. You’re just afraid to die!

Do you even know how many troops I’ve piled up at the frontline, waiting for your paratroopers to arrive and launch an internal and external assault?

A group of traitors who miss the opportunity to engage in battle!"

If he could eat people, he really wanted to devour this group of useless people right then.

Ron watched as Lancaster sat back down in the chair, gasping for breath, seemingly no longer intending to scold, which slightly relieved his heart.

This time, their army indeed had nothing to do with the incident, so Ron dared to speak up and ease the situation.

After all, there’s a saying that you don’t hit someone who smiles. He said with a smile,

"I think dwelling on these things now makes little sense. The immediate priority is to deploy the frontline battlefield and break the enemy’s encirclement of Da Haguai.

I believe Colonel Stan’s troops, even if not airborne behind enemy lines, can exert considerable strength at the frontline. Plus, with the British’s two elite units joining forces, defeating Horizon Corporation shouldn’t be an issue."

It was just a small failure. He had gotten used to it; he hadn’t won any victories against Horizon Corporation, only managing to shrink back into the defense lines to slow down the losses. One of Havana’s two brigades was already crumbling.

The Black Forest troops had only lost a tank and a vehicle team. Although the air force suffered significant losses, with thirteen jets shot down, the involvement of the British can completely cover these losses.

Of course, this was him unaware that the jets weren’t shot down. Otherwise, he might have burst into curses.

Stan’s expression relaxed slightly and he said,

"I’ll order the transport planes to land at the airport closest to Da Haguai, letting my men head straight to the frontline to test those mercenaries."

Ron was quite satisfied with his response.

That’s more like it. This gentleman is soft but not hard-hearted; he can’t handle rebuke. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

Seeing through Lancaster’s temperament, he indeed stopped cursing. After calming down, he asked,

"Where have the three British units reached?"

Stan said,

"Watch International, Global Guard, Aegis, each of them has chosen a defense line. They should arrive in a few hours, and once assembled, we can launch an attack as early as tomorrow."

Lancaster nodded slightly but muttered,

"Drones... I never thought these guys would have this up their sleeve. I’ve never seen them use these large drones to engage with the air force before."

"Who would’ve thought?"

Ron cursed under his breath,

"Who knows how many more things Horizon Corporation is hiding? Satellite images show them heavily engaged in construction at the beach, probably preparing to build bunkers and wage a protracted war with us.

We can’t give them time; we have to quickly drive these bastards out of Cuba so we can continue doing business and making big money, right?

If we don’t show these bastards some force, they might just come knocking right here...."

He stopped midway, as a piercing air raid alarm suddenly rang out around the command post, the sharp siren leaving everyone inside the tent stunned.

What’s going on?

Is it those drones from this morning attacking?

No way, were all the radars along the route blind?

Ron immediately rushed out to investigate the situation, but soon gunfire and explosions erupted outside.

Lancaster’s previously calm demeanor was churned by these sounds, unable to resist the rising tension. His eyes were glued to the entrance, his hands unconsciously clenched, as the maids hurriedly entered the command room.

This time, however, they didn’t maintain their previous delicate demeanor, instead picking up rifles to stand guard by Lancaster’s side.

Having always been at the rear, he had never faced a true frontline battle. No shell had ever landed closer than ten kilometers to him, and all personnel casualties and defense line gains or losses were only reflected on the holographic map in front of him.

Only now did he truly touch the tip of the iceberg of war.

"Damn, a unit from Horizon Corporation is attacking!"

Ron stumbled into the command room, hurriedly shouting,

"Their firepower is fierce, and they are very strong. The guard units can’t hold them off; hurry! Retreat quickly!"

Lancaster was both shocked and furious,

"How did they manage to get here?"

This place is so far from the frontline, with air defense radars along the way. Did no one notice?

Ron paused to think before saying,

"They have armed hovercars! They must have used them to fly low and close to the ground, avoiding the radar detection range to get here."

Lancaster was furious beyond measure,

"What! So your ground troops are all blind, not a single one noticed? And there are two to three hundred guards here; how many of them can there be for such a raid?"

"This is not the time to talk about this; we must leave immediately! These are not ordinary people coming!"

Ron’s face was filled with urgency and a hint of terror.

Lancaster didn’t know what he had seen, but there was no time to worry about that now.
